On Wednesday evening, a 25-year-old man allegedly sodomised an 8-year-old boy in Bomet County, sparking a police investigation.
According to Area Chief Joseph Cheruiyot, the suspect, Robert Koech, waylaid the boy as he was heading to the shop.
The boy was then taken to the suspect's house, where he was sexually assaulted.
"The boy delayed from the canteen and his parents got concerned about it, his mother tracked the route only to find the young boy coming out of the suspect's house," said Chief Cheruiyot.
The boy was rushed to Chebunyo Health Centre, where it was confirmed that he had indeed been assaulted.
The suspect is reported to have escaped after the incident and is also alleged to have previously sodomized a 12-year-old, although the incident went unreported.
